Well, let's see; in the case of, say, Walmart; gain unfair business advantage by lobbying local, state and national governments for tax perks and special favors.
Take advantage of superior financial leverage by building a huge store in town.
Deliberately undercut all the local merchants, forcing them out of business.
Then tell everyone who lost their jobs working for those other businesses, 'you have a choice'. Yeah, work for us for shit wages- or starve.
I'd ask if you're fucking stupid, but years of your posts have pounded that point home with a pile driver.
Ignoring your impoliteness and getting to the point... Yes, I understand the relationship between government and business. I'm not defending cronyism, nor do I need a lesson in why it's bad.
Why are you thinking that the thing which allows or enables a coercive monopoly to exist can somehow be the thing which ends it ?
No, I'm not stupid, but people who think the answer to the question above is to somehow polish the coercion turd until it's a happy turd might be experiencing cognitive dissonance.
